Yumiko stumbled across the wreckage, looking at the destruction and listening to the continued echoes of destruction in other parts of the crumbling palace. Was it over? "Is he gone?" she asked, arms wrapping around herself, a pang in her chest at saying those words aloud. As one of the strangers stepped forward, she shook herself and turned around. She smiled. "I'm glad there is still some luck in the world." She walked forward and grabbed his kimono. "Hiding me isn't the priority. I need to get to Kita before - before -"

Kisuke adjusted his hat and smiled. "I am not a complete idiot--I mean," Kisuke shook his head, quickly corrected himself. "I'm not an idiot." He moved quickly toward Yumiko before someone intervened.
"Yumiko, are you alright?" Kisuke asked her stopping in front of her, hands on her shoulders.

She shook her head, pushing away his concern with a determined glint in her eyes. "I don't have time to be worried about me. He's been focusing on Kita, and he knows how to trap her. I have to warn her," Yumiko said, hurriedly. "Please take me to the shop."

Kisuke shook his head. "I can't do that. Ichimaru is with her. She will be fine." Kisuke told her pulling her under his arm and calling on a few of the stealth members. "Take her back to the Soul Society to Captain Ukitake." He turned his attention back to Yumiko. "They will take care of you." Placing both hands on her shoulders again he looked into her eyes. "Don't worry about Kita. Ichimaru and Sumi are not going to let anyone close to her. Now go with them."
Kisuke gently pushed her toward the three stealth force members as she spun quickly and grabbed his haori.

“You don’t understand, Kisuke,” she insisted. “Aizen has found a way around the goddess’ protection. He’s a man obsessed.” Her grip on his haori tightened. “And he’ll kill the child to break her. Nothing is beyond him now. She’s not safe there. She’s done so much for me. I have to help her. He won't hurt me because he won't jeopardize my powers."

Kisuke sighed he did not like the way that sounded and he knew Yumiko was right, if Aizen wanted something bad enough he will stop at nothing to get it. With a final sigh he looked to Ichigo.
"Take her to the shop and get your ass back here ASAP. We need you here."
He looked to Yumiko next. "As soon as you deliver this news to Kita and Ichimaru, you have Ichimaru open the gate the the Soul Society. Go to the thirteenth division and find Captain Ukitake. He will keep you safe."

Yumiko nodded. “I understand,” she said. She smiled. “I will be glad to the see the captain. I missed him.” She looked to the others. “Good luck. Don’t get hurt trying to defeat the enemy.” She walked over to the one called Ichigo.

Ichigo scratched the back of his head. "So how do you want to do this?" he asked. "You're kind of unsteady on your feet, but as a noble, I don't think you want a piggyback ride-" He started. "V, what are you doing?!" Vacanze chuckled. "Giving you a hand," he said with a chuckle, lifting Yumiko into his arms and placing her in Ichigo's arms. He laughed loudly as the boy blushed. "Come on, Ichigo! You're more a virgin than Lieutenant Kira." Ichigo shook his head. "I - I am not! And why is she in my arms like this?" Vacanze waved him away. "Isn't that more comfortable?" he replied easily. He looked to Yumiko. "Be careful, but you have my gratitude for helping Kita, even with your place in his plans." Yumiko nodded. Mumbling about idiot redheads, Ichigo took off. Continued in "Masquerade Continues"

While chaos and mayhem spread through the palace, Nnoitra and Grimmjow appeared behind Zaraki and Abarai on the east side of Las Noches. The two grinning like fends, swords drawn and ready to cut down their enemy. Both attacked Nnoitra being blocked by Zaraki as he grinned madly at the espada. Grimmjow having a near miss as he cut down Abarai's left arm as he turned to face the attacking espada.
"You assholes really need to learn we don't want you around here." Nnoitra growled at Zaraki.
Swinging his blade Zaraki sliced into Nnoitra's jacket as the espada jumped back from the ox of a Captain. "You bastards need to learn the same thing." He growled at the espada.
A wide toothy grin appeared across his lips as he countered the attack and the fight was on between the men.
Grimmjow and Renji already hot into battle, swords crossed and locked at the hilt as Abarai shoved Grimmjow back and released Zobimaru once more at the blue haired espada.
"Don't die, pussycat!" Nnoitra called out to Grimmjow.
"Fuck you! Practice what you preach, asshole!" Grimmjow called back blocking the redhead's attack.

Yachiru looked up from the back of the changing arrancar she was currently drawing on with a black marker and saw Kenpachi cross weapons and energy with-
“YAY!!!! KEN-NII’S GOT A BUDDY!!” she called out, jumping up and down on her victim. “KICK HIS ASS AGAIN, KEN-NII!”
Kenpachi chuckled and pulled back from Nnoitra’s swing at his chest, smirking as the blade bounced off his skin. “Enjoy the show, Yachiru,” he grinned, bringing his sword down on Nnoitra’s jagged blade. Crazy light grew in his eyes. “I think you’ve gotten stronger, eye-patch.”
As Renji flew into a wall behind him, Kenpachi swung at the espada’s arm, nicking and drawing first blood. “Hey, Red, if you die on me, I won’t save you!” he hollered over his back.
“Neither will I~” came Yachiru’s happy commentary.
Kenpachi swung downwards again. “This is going to be fun." He smirked at his opponent. "Don't go kicking the bucket too soon, espada. I want to show you some new tricks."

Grimmjow grinned, "just the way I like it. One on one. Better listen to your friends, Red. You're on your own it seems. You got what it takes?" Grimmjow asked slashing out at him with a clawed hand ripping through his sleeve his zanpakuto coming around the other side about to take his head as Renji ducked out of the way and countered their blades screaming out as they clashed together.
"I got your weak ass Grimmjow. If you remember my best friend is the substitute, he told me all about your weak ass moves." Renji replied attacking again as Zobimaru roared out pushing Grimmjow through a couple of the tower walls.
Nnoitra laughed shaking hie head as he looked at Zaraki then let his long tongue, lick the blood that was slowly drying on his healed wound. "I have a few new tricks of my own soul reaper. Not just my new found strength." His grin widened, "this is going to be more fun than last time. I wonder who will die this time around. You?" Nnoitra lunged at Zaraki bringing his sword down then withdrew spinning around him slashing upward cutting across the back of the Captain's legs.
At that point Grimmjow bound from the rubble of the tower as he too lunged at the red head. "FUCKING SOUL REAPERS!!"
Renji jumped back as one of Grimmjow's clawed hands lashed out at his face, one claw nicking his chin. Renji dodged and weaved as the espada's claws slashed toward him.
"What's the matter Grimmjow. Can't catch me?"
Grimmjow's eyes narrowed as he quickly drew Pantera again. "Eat this bitch!" Grimmjow growled thrusting his blade forward.

Renji moved but not quite quick enough as Grimmjow's blade sliced into his neck. Eyes narrowing Renji whipped Zobimaru around as he wrapped around the espada lifting him up. Jerking on the hilt, Zobimaru flung Grimmjow downward slamming in into the ground hard. It quickly withdrew and lunged back at the espada ramming him center chest burying him deeper in the sand.
"Bastard espada." Renji growled wiping the blood from his neck. He turned attacking a wave of arrancar as they spilled from the new hole in the tower wall.

Kenpachi grunted as the hit landed and turned his head to his opponent. “You got faster too~” he grinned manically as he turned around, tilting his head at the espada before him. “I can’t wait. I can’t wait. This is going to be funNN~~~” He charged into Nnnoitra and threw him into the wave of arrancar with one arm, plowing through the group to the outside, where he tossed his prey down, chuckling at the nicks on both of them from that frenzy.
“Let’s play, eye-patch,” he hissed, reaching for his own eyepiece. He flicked it off and screamed. “I CAN’T WAIT!!!!” Kenpachi’s reiatsu blew another weak tower down and threw large pieces of rubble and lower arrangers into the air. His eyes were glowing.
On one such piece of rubble, holding onto the back of Renji’s shihakusho to keep from being blown backwards, Yachiru was perched and giggling. “He’s happy. He’s so happy.”
“Hey, rugrat,” Grimmjow snarled, crouched on the ground as the captain’s energy swirled around them, “that’s my prey you said you wouldn’t steal. Are you a liar?”
Yachiru tilted her head. “But I never said I wouldn’t rescue from natural disasters. Ken-nii is a disaster, don’t you know?”
“LIAR!” Grimmjow snarked. “That’s an excuse to save his fancy head from my claws. Let him go or I am coming after you.”
“Me?” she asked in the same innocent voice.
“YOU, YOU DUMB ASS RAT!!” he spat. “Can’t you h-“
Yachiru appeared behind him. “Oh dear….” she murmured, emotionless, “you got me angry.”
Grimmjow stumbled to the side as three slashes came down on his back as Yachiru stood there before him, back to him still with her naked blade.
As some blood got on her, she grinned again. “Red, he’s all yours. The battle outside is too much funnnn~~~” she took off, barreling through arrancars as she went. “Coming through, coming through~ Don’t get too far without me, Ken-niii~~~~”
Outside, Kenpachi took a slow breath. “Feel that, eye-patch? The sounds of war, the smell of blood, and rage.” He braced his blade before him. “Isn’t it the best feeling ever to be in the middle of it?”

Kisuke grunted feeling Kenpachi's reiatsu flare, adjusting his hat he looked at the others. "Be on your toes the Espada are attacking."
"It seems so far they have only attacked Captain Zaraki and Renji." Hisagi announced. "Hopefully the Captains are still fairing well with their attack."
"The Nnoitra and the Grimmjow are with the Captain and Renji. Who knows who we will be facing so be ready for anything." Vacanze told them. He looked around then to Kisuke. "If I know Aizen - and I do - He will send his strongest to face the Captains."
Kisuke adjusted his hat and looked out across the sands. "Might want to rethink that, Vacanze."
The group looked Kisuke's way seeing Loki standing a few yards back from them.
"I got this bastard." Vacanze growled as he sonido'ed toward the Cero espada.
Kisuke turned seeing two more of the espada. "Szayel and Cassava." He grinned adjusting his hat as he drew Benihime. "Missing all the fun Ichigo. Better hurry or there will be nothing left." Kisuke shunpo'ed off toward the espada as he watched Szayel raise his hand. A horde of arrancar swarmed toward him. "Show time."

Szayel smiled and drew his zanpakuto and sonido'ed toward the soul reapers. "What fine specimens you will all make. Why not die for me?" Szayel chuckled as he crossed swords with Hisagi.
"Not today freak!" Hisagi bellowed as he spun around the espada slashing his sword downward at the mad man. "I won't even walk in Captains Mayuri's lab what makes you think I will set foot in yours?"
Szayel dodged the attack spinning quickly, blocking his attack. "So he's still alive is he. Pity. That man is a true freak I can see your concern there soul reaper." Szayel shoved Hisagi back. "Not much for a lieutenant are you boy?"
Hisagi growled and lashed out again as their blades rang out in the cries and roars of the hordes of arrancar.
